1100 Alta Loma, Unit 608, West Hollywood, CA 90069

In a city built on what people believe they see, this 2BR/2.5BA residence at Empire West leans into the view. Nearly 2,300 square feet of considered space in the heart of West Hollywood - close enough to feel the pulse of Little Soho House, the clang of weights at Equinox, the flicker of sunset off glass along the Boulevards. The great room opens to a private balcony where downtown unfolds in silhouette. There's a designer kitchen, meant more for conversation than cooking, and a second living space - currently an office, possibly a den, maybe even a third bedroom if the night runs long. Two ensuite bedrooms, both with balconies and closets built to hold not just clothes but a life curated. The primary bath has a soaking tub, a glass shower, and a double vanity - because some mornings are shared and some are not. Iron and glass doors, custom-lit ceilings, a wide entry hall with a powder room that doesn't pretend to be more. Laundry where it should be. Hardwood where it counts. Empire West is full-service, which is to say it has a doorman, rooftop pool, tennis, gym, and earthquake insurance (yes, really). Two parking spaces wired for what comes next. HOA: $3,096.54/month. And yes, this is the center of the Strip's strange, glittering gravity.
